Systematic Mapping Protocol: Have Systematic Reuse Benefits Been Transferred to Real-world Settings?
This work addresses the gap in understanding how software reuse benefits translate to real-world industrial applications for the software engineering community, but it is incremental as it focuses on planning a study rather than presenting new findings.
The paper plans a systematic mapping study to identify reported benefits of software reuse strategies in industrial settings, aiming to compile a map of claimed benefits, supporting data, industry domains, and strategies used.
This document details the planning phase of a Systematic Mapping Study. Our goal is to identify and to understand the benefits that the software engineering community has reported on the application of the different reuse strategies in industrial context, by building a general picture (map) containing: the claimed benefits, the data supporting those claims, the industry's domains and the reuse strategy employed.
